My name is Matt! I am still young in this hobby, been flying small indoor birds for a couple of years. My first was an Airhog then eventually upgraded to the Blade mCX 1. After about a year or so I bought a Blade 120 sr so I can start to really start to learn how to fly. This bird however is not so easy to fly in South Korea during the winter months as I am finding out.
This past weekend I discovered that my 120sr will not fly outside due to the unpredictable winds of this country, so I started looking more at the EXI/MK 250's. After a few videos of these I decided it was time for an upgrade so I researched these two machines. I watched a few videos on by rcHelpdotcom on youtube and asked a question and thats how I ended up here.
I have never thought of flying a 450 class heli due to the size, afraid of crashing such a big bird. I am now convinced that a 450 is what I will need to learn how to fly, mostly due to the size of the machine. I have made my decision on the heli and it will be the EXI 450 pro carbon edition at xheli. what I would like to know is a rough of what I should be looking at for parts for a budget version that will help me learn with out breaking the bank at the same time. As I get better I will start adding topshelf parts to it. 3d is not in the equation at this time but would like to some ability so I can learn when I am ready.
Thanks for reading!
P.S. RC is big in my area of South Korea, there are at least 3 small hobby shops right off post.
